BT20 - Season 24

[MrB]

A pleasing start, played the team ranked 9 in Aus:

Me: End of Over 10: 78-1, runrate=7.80
Them: End of Over 10: 100-1, runrate=10.00

Turned into:

Me: End of Over 20: 214-1, runrate=10.70
Them: End of Over 20: 177-4, runrate=8.85

Some explosive hitting at the back end of our innings.

Nicely done there B

Started by beating a bot, with my new batsman hitting an unbeaten 128 off 58 balls

Won by 5 wickets, I should win the next 2 aswell. Actually looking at all the teams again I should walk this division!

Same for me today, typically the one time I go short in my batting line up is the day I lose a load of wickets!!

I lost my game by 20 runs or so.....How the heck am I supposed to tell my batsmen that at 120-1, it's OK to start smashing the ball around the field? Phenomenal XP\Superb LS captain my a$£e!

I now wonder whether I should set them all to "Very Attacking".......

I think there's a setting.....

Yeah, that's the one :smile:

Yeah, that's the one :smile:

True, but I wasn't sure whether VA would see my batsmen all get skittled......Or is it worth just gambling on an all out attack which will either succeed or fail...?

 

[* ORM *]

2 wins out of 2. Seems plenty of teams still underplay BT despite minimal PFL hit. I'm on PaN as well. Happy with 8th for season so this helps

[MrB]

Man this game can **** you off sometimes! Playing a BB style team with an average age of almost 36 that only bats to 5. Get them to 57-3 and then watch a 36 and 37yo, the latter on fresh fitness, batter 133 off 72 balls to win the game.

Grrr......

 

[MrB]

Lost another game against a weaker team. Beat the sell up overnight but I sense we're going to go down this season, my team just can't get to grips with BT20. I set all my batsmen to VA and all my bowlers to VD, not really sure what else to do.

Franchise however made it 14 league wins out of 14 and are well set for triple promotion.

 

[MrB]

Lost another game against a weaker team.

Then I spotted this, nice....

Due to the errors with player fitness levels, todays BT20 games (27th November) will be removed from the league tables and changed into friendlies. The fixtures will be replayed on the 10th January as the last BT20 game on the free Thursday. Any friendlies that day will be rescheduled.

The changes will take place tomorrow.

Boooooooooooooooo!
